Greendale School Board elects Rob Kobeleska president; Tasha Hughes named vice president
Summary
At its reorganizational meeting April 28, the Greendale School Board elected Rob Kobeleska as president and Tasha Hughes as vice president, and also appointed Kristen Settle as clerk and Brian Bach as treasurer. The board conducted the annual officer elections and confirmed committee assignments.
Rob Kobeleska was elected president of the Greendale School Board during the district’s reorganizational meeting held April 28. The motion to elect Kobeleska was seconded and passed by roll call; the transcript records one recorded dissent and multiple affirmative votes before the chair declared the election successful.
The board also filled other officer positions. Tasha Hughes was nominated and elected vice president by unanimous roll-call votes; Kristen Settle was elected clerk after nomination and second; and Brian Bach was elected treasurer following nomination and a roll-call vote.
The reorganization included discussion of each officer’s expected duties and a brief exchange about nonpartisanship and funding pressures. One board member objected to Kobeleska’s election citing concerns about recent state and federal funding changes affecting the district; other members spoke in support of a nonpartisan approach to board leadership.
Board members then confirmed committee liaisons and assignments by consensus. Examples noted in the meeting record: Rob as Park and Recreation liaison; Kathy as village board liaison and policy committee member; Kristen as liaison to the Greendale Education Foundation and Highland View; and Brian and Tasha on the finance committee, with the treasurer’s membership automatic.
The board recessed the officer elections and proceeded to other business after formally recording the results. The board said it will meet next on Monday, May 5.
